As the rumors around Barry Bonds' alleged consumption of steroids during the years 1998-2001, to boost his athletic performance and/or speed his healing from injuries, have hardened into what seems like a fairly substantial (if circumstantial) case, some have said he's getting a much worse shake than Mark McGuire or other ballplayers. Today the SF Chronicle faces the issue head on in a major front page story -- one that is already being pushed down the SFGate main page as the Enron verdicts come in.
As I've attended games at Whatever-It's-Called-This-Year Park this spring -- including two games when Bonds was due to tie or surpass Babe Ruth's record -- my interest in seeing him blast the ball into the bay did indeed surpass my cynicism. After all, whatever happened in the past, this year he's clean, right? Every hit this year is equal to anybody else's.
